Stanford's Mechanical Engineering Design Group invites you to join us as we celebrate the creative work of our students with podium presentations and a trade fair featuring their work in design research, design practice, engineering, and manufacturing.

This year brings you an expanded range of participating courses, faculty, and students from a broader cross section of design thinking activities at Stanford including work from The Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford and the Joint Program in Design. You will experience two densely packed days with parallel sessions and ample opportunities to network.

EXPE is a unique, once-a-year opportunity to meet with students, faculty and industry colleagues. It is also the right time to finalize your plans for engagement in 2008-2009.
